Ive gotten to where if I want to listen to music its either on vinyl or CD. Only use my iPod for listening to pod casts and missed radio shows like "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me". A good sound system can make all the difference.

A big +1 to Duane Allman. Guy was an unbelievable guitar player - best slide ever IMO. I've seen the Allmans live several times, but never got to see him. Too bad.

Yeah.  Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs may be my favorite album.  The guitar from Bell Bottom Blues is in my head now.

Man, I just listened to Ziggy Stardust for the first time in years… Twice. Just fantastic, top to bottom.

+1 Just love that album.

I saw Lyle Lovett on Saturday with his Large Band. What a great prefomance. The generosity of the man as a preformer blew me away. So, I've bee listening to his self-titled, Pontiac, and Joshua Judges Ruth. They've been the best albums this week.  ;D

No discussion of Led Zeppelin is complete without discussing their female counterpart; namely, Heart when Roger Fisher was their lead guitarist.  Ann and Nancy Wilson basically broke the mold for women in rock music.  My favorite tune on their debut album is "Sing Child."  Roger Fisher did a great job on the Univibe-laden solo. 

Speaking of Ziggy Stardust, I used to play the title track in a band in which I was co-lead guitarist while serving on active duty in the U.S. Navy.  That's a fun song to play.  Here's a photo that was shot at a summer festival on the island of La Maddalena (I am playing the Les Paul on the right):



Here's a photo that was shot at an outdoor practice session (I am doing my best Jimi Hendrix impersonation):



I was only 20 years old when the photos shown above were shot.  We had to beg, borrow, and steal our
equipment.  The other guitarist in the band was able to bring his Marshall to Italy because he was on an accompanied tour and had a place on the beach with his wife (we were forward deployed).

Wow, that is very cool. And I agree that early Heart was great. They broke a lot of ground for women in rock. I saw them in concert back in the day and they were huge Zeppelin fans - played 'Battle of Evermore' IIRC.

Speaking of Miles Davis, I ran into John McLaughlin a couple of years ago.  I asked him how he managed to land the gig with Miles on B****es Brew, and he said without the slightest hint of pretentiousness, "I was very lucky."  John is a very cool, down-to-earth guy.

Yeah, that list covers a lot of territory and I like pretty much all of it.
